480.9 Battery Locations.
(E) Egress.
Personnel door(s) intended for entrance to and egress from rooms designated as battery rooms shall be equipped with door(s) that open in the direction of egress and shall be equipped with listed panic hardware bars, pressure plates, or other devices that are normally latched but open under simple pressure.

5 Statement of Problem and Substantiation.

110.27 Spaces About Electrical Equipment.
(C) Entrance to and Egress from Working Space.
(3) Personnel Doors.
Where equipment rated 800 A or more that contains overcurrent devices, switching devices, or control devices is installed and there is a personnel door(s) intended for entrance to and egress from the working space less than 7.6 m (25 ft) from the nearest edge of the working space, the door(s) shall open in the direction of egress and be equipped with listed panic hardware.

Using the same text for the same meaning reduces confusion.
